Sometimes we need something that will brighten our day and make us laugh.

Enter my super fun and colorful Unicorn Poop Cookies recipe.

I know, I know. Unicorn this and unicorn that. It’s hard to believe that after several years this fad is still going strong! But why shouldn’t it? There is nothing wrong with introducing a bit of magic into our lives – especially during adulthood. 😉

These colorful and fun cookies are a sweet treat that is sure to bring on joyful smiles. They are a must-make for anyone who loves unicorns. Plus, they are also perfect for unicorn birthday parties. Especially when served alongside my Unicorn Petit Fours and Unicorn Cheesecake Bars!

Unlike other Unicorn Poop Cookies, these delectable made-from-scratch cookies aren’t multi-colored at all. Instead, their magic lays in their unique design and delectable taste!

You are going to love the sweet combination of a sugar cookie base with crushed Oreos mixed in! And kids will love the swirl of frosting on top dotted with a rainbow of sprinkles and topped with a golden unicorn horn and ears.

These Unicorn Poop Cookies are made with a delicious sugar cookie recipe with crushed Oreos mixed in, then made extra-fun with frosting, chocolate ganache, sprinkles and your imagination.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE UNICORN POOP COOKIES

Making these incredibly cute cookies is much easier than you’d think! Just as I did with the ingredients, I split the directions into four main sections: the cookies, the frosting, the ganache, and finally decorating (aka putting it all together).

To Make the Cookies

Step One: Prep

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper

Step Two: Make Cookie Dough

• Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined
• Whisk the flour, crushed oreo cookies, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl
• Gradually beat in the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms

Step Three: Bake

• Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the cookie sheets
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until a light golden brown color

Step Four: Cool

• Allow the cookies to cool completely.

To Make the Frosting

Step One: Combine Ingredients and Beat

• Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until
• combined, smooth and holds a peak

Step Two: Add in Icing Bags

• Scoop 1 cup of frosting into the piping bag with the star tip
• Scoop the remaining frosting into the other piping bag

To Make the Chocolate Ganache

Step One: Simmer

• Using a small pot, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer

Step Two: Pour Over

• Pour over the chocolate chips in a small bowl and let stand for 1 minute

Step Three: Whisk

• Whisk until smooth

Putting It All Together

Step One: Pipe 1st Frosting Layer

• Pipe a thick layer of frosting onto the top of the cookie and smooth evenly.

Step Two: Add Chocolate Ganache

• Scoop some chocolate ganache onto the center of the frosting and lightly spread

Step Three: Add Second Frosting

• Pipe a small dollop of frosting on top of the ganache

Step Four: Add Sprinkles

• Sprinkle some of the sprinkles on top.

Step Five: Add the Horn and Ears

• Place the unicorn icing horn and ears from the decorating kit into the center of the frosting.

Step Six: Let Set

• Let cookies sit before serving for about 15 minutes so the icing and ganache will set.

And that’s it! You’re done! Aren’t they super cute?!
